Morning laugh....

mszSHOGAN

I wanted to run yesterday but had NO motivation and instead laid on the couch all evening....:explode:


I said, "I'm getting up in the morning and running" (since I often have more energy before work rather than after). So I got up at 5:15 and hit the pavement - literally. I don't exactly live in the best neighborhood and running in the dark isn't really a good idea, so I was looking around very cautiously and didn't see the uneven pavement that caused me to trip, watch myself fall in slow-mo and eventually hit the ground. It hurt but I got up and continued! :drinker: My knee and hand started throbbing so I looked down and I was gushing blood! I ran home crying like a little baby and couldn't help but laugh at myself when I was cleaning up in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I must've looked like such an idiot - but thanks to my observance (which caused this whole mess) atleast I know no one was around!


So please, have a good chuckle imagining me stumbling to catch myself before hitting the sidewalk like a ton of bricks! :laugh:

Ack! No I don't want to laugh, I want to hug.

I really like running in the morning, but I don't like to carry a flashlight, so I got one of those little miner's lights - LED flashlight that you strap around your head. I'm sure I look like a nut, but I can see where I'm going and cars can see me. And if anyone starts to chase you down just look at them and the bright LED's will blind them in the dark and you can run away.

I hope your hand and knee are not injured too badly, and that they heal quickly!!

:laugh: very Funny. I am up at 5:15 myself for my morning run. I run with a neighbor. There is NO WAY I would get up on my own and do it. If I know that she is out there waiting for me, it forces me to get up. I also love coming back from the morning run and updating my exercise log and smiling at the bonus calories I have access to.

Are you by Pittsburgh? My daughter is looking at that college for next year. Went for a weekend visit and she loved it.

Those things are great!! Like $5 or $10 at Walmart.

OOHHH! I'm definitely not laughing. I've had my share of falls and that's what I worry aobut now when I'm jogging. At my age I could break a hip or something. I hope you heal quickly and glad you can laugh at yourself. :flowerforyou:

They are awesome. I use one in the winter to do my horse chores, because my barn has no electricity. Also, great for full moon snowshoeing in the winter!
